Cisco Cisco Clean Access 3.5

If running release 3.5(3) or above of the Cisco Clean Access software, administrators have the option of 
performing software upgrade on the CAS and CAM via web console: 

CAM web console: Administration > Clean Access Manager > System Upgrade 

CAS management pages (in CAM web console): Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage 
[CAS_IP] > Misc

CAS direct web console: https://<CAS_eth0_IP>/admin

For web upgrade, you must upgrade each CAS first, then the CAM. 

You can always upgrade the CAS from the CAS direct web console for any release above 3.5(3).

Release 3.5(3) or above must be installed and running on your CAM/CAS(es) before you can 
upgrade via web console.

If upgrading failover pairs, refer to

Note the following:

If running release 3.5(5) or above, you can upgrade the CAS from the CAS management pages (or 
CAS direct web console), and upgrade the CAM from the CAM web console. 

If running release 3.5(3) or 3.5(4), you can upgrade the CAS from the CAS direct web console, and 
upgrade the CAM from the CAM web console.

With web upgrade, the CAM and CAS automatically perform all the upgrade tasks that are done 
manually for SSH upgrade (for example, untar file, cd to /store, run upgrade script). The CAM also 
automatically creates snapshots before and after upgrade. When upgrading via web console only, the 
machine automatically reboots after the upgrade completes. The steps for web upgrade are as follows:

For Cisco Clean Access 3.5 release upgrades, a single file, cca_upgrade_3.5.x.tar.gz, is downloaded to 
each Clean Access Manager (CAM) and Clean Access Server (CAS) installation machine. The upgrade 
script automatically determines whether the machine is a CAM or CAS.

 

For Cisco Clean Access patch upgrades, the upgrade file can be for the CAM only, CAS only, or for both 
CAM/CAS, depending on the patch upgrade required.
